Mouse control

Post by Maverick16 »

I cannot use the mouse to control switches.
I have reloaded the C172,but it did not help.
Any ideas.

Your description is a bit brief. Do you mean the mouse click spots don't work at all? For some controls such as the radio knobs, it's a case of using the mouse scroll wheel to rotate them.

The first troubleshooting step in any case would be to download and install the latest Accu-Sim update. Otherwise, if you can give us a bit more info (including host sim type) it's easier to help.

Thanks,
Nick

I might be wrong but wasn't there an issue with the landing lights in 3D mode making it impossible on some systems to use the mouse to operate switches in the cockpit? I don't know if that was ever fixed. You could try the following (after running the updater of course). Go to the aircraft configurator in your start menu and switch the lights from 3D to default and see if your clickspots work after that.

Hello,

it sounds like you will want to make sure your updated with the latest Accu-sim updater but also make sure your using the correct mouse buttons. For example some multi-function switches you will want to use the mouse wheel to change values.

thanks,
Lewis
